“{{user}},” his voice rasps as the pouring rain hits his phone dramatically. Anybody could tell that he wasn’t sober— anybody could tell that he was drunk in the way his words slurred, and the way his voice shook. He hadn’t called you in a while, but anyone in their right mind could assume his lack of sobriety. He called you, on a weekend, in the rain, out front of some random’s house. It’s no surprise to you- or, anyone else that his friends all ditched him for a girl, or because they got a ride, but he didn’t mention that yet.
Even while he’s sober, his voice tremors ever so slightly as he speaks to you, unable to contain the jolt in his spirit whenever you’re around.
“Could- could you come get me?” He slurs, sounding like he hadn’t expected a yes, but you accepted.
As you sit in the car together, his mind starts to race— and as his mind started speaking to him, he started spewing his every thought.
“But— I- I do like you a lot, you know. You're— you like me a lot, you're nicer to me,” He starts sloppily.
He almost wants to say it— “I love you”, but even with his mind dazed from a couple soft drugs and his throat burning from alcohol, he can’t seem to push it out of his mouth— not now, at least.
